Preaching
As an award-winning and sought-after preacher, I offer a range of styles—from biblical storytelling that brings listeners into the text to an exegetical walk-through of a text. I prefer to start with a text and see what it has to say, rather than starting with a theme or topic and finding texts that fit that theme. Fit me into your existing sermon series or worship theme with a custom sermon, or choose from my list of polished sermons. I always review and update polished sermons for your context.
Guest sermon on the text of your choice: $250
Guest sermon from my list of polished sermons: $150
Examples:
Sermon series: $250 for first sermon, $200 for each additional sermon

Teaching
I offer creative, imaginative, wonder-focused Bible storytelling for all ages, inspired by the Godly Play style of storytelling. Using simple materials, I tell the story in a way that opens it up to wondering questions from everyone. We then have time to engage with the story through play (mostly aimed at children) or through writing, art, song, or movement with creative prompts (mostly aimed at adults). Watch a sample story.

Liturgical Season Planning
I write a Worship Guide for a series that ties together a liturgical season such as Lent, Easter, or Advent. This guide includes elements such as a theme statement, ritual action, embodied and breath-focused prayer practices, songs, and repeated or connected prayers (i.e. Advent candle lighting prayers) and liturgy (call to worship, confession, benediction, etc). I can provide preaching or worship leading for these services, or support lay leaders in carrying out the plan.

Retreat Leading
For your congregation, small group, nonprofit board, and more! Whether you're looking to reflect together on questions facing your community or just have fun connecting with each other, I can help you create the space you need through words, music, art, compelling questions, and play.
